An ecological adventure story which teaches children about the importance of conservation.

All sea turtles are threatened or endangered. The Kemp s ridley turtles are the most endangered of all -- fewer than eight thousand on the whole planet. Limp and frozen, a Kemp s ridley washes up on Cape Cod. When a boy named Max finds him, the turtle appears to be dead. But maybe not. Award-winning author Kathryn Lasky and photographer Christopher G. Knight take young readers on a riveting tour that begins on the icy shores of Cape Cod, where expert teams attempt to revive the Kemp s ridley, and ends on the warm beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, where this rare breed is born and may return to lay eggs of its own.

Industry Reviews

Outstanding color photographs and compelling text document the rescue of a single sea turtle as it is handed off from volunteer beach patrollers to the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary...
--The Horn Book

Knight's impressive photography captures the gritty details of turtle rescue as well as the nobility of the species. Lasky's respect and enthusiasm for her subject is clear, and the text will leave readers more aware of human roles in species' extinction and preservation.
